Decent little campground

Small CG convenient to Hot Springs. Sites 2-7 are adjacent to the road, not desirable. The sites that back up to the creek are better. If you enjoy hiking, this is an excellent location. Clean restrooms, no showers.

Right on the creek

National Park campground, sites along the creek are really nice. Wished they would have sold firewood as we couldn’t find any anywhere in town and had to scavenge. Very quiet despite being totally full with RVs.

Scenic

A little close to a busy road, but if you have a creek spot you can hear the water flowing! Trails nearby and showerless bathrooms in the campground. We showered at a nearby KOA for about $7 per shower.
